I'd rather have Tillamook ice cream over B&J any day.

Plain as it is, vanilla is the nation’s favorite ice-cream flavor. Our expert tasters tried 19 (including gelatos), separating the yum from the ho-hum. For ice-cream lovers who venture beyond vanilla, we also recommend a dozen in three other flavors: salted caramel, mint chip, and fudge brownie.
Taste. Among vanillas, Ben & Jerry’s and Häagen-Dazs are the clear winners: dense and creamy, with intense dairy flavor and complex, high-quality vanilla flavor. A runner-up, Talenti, is quite sweet and a bit icy, with a fruity-floral vanilla flavor typical of Tahitian vanilla.
As you go down the Ratings, the ice creams tend to be a bit more gummy or have vanilla flavor that’s generic or less pronounced.

I wish
Blue Bell is definitely good. makes ya thankful ya got a tongue !
I vote for Blue Bell! It’s a LOT better!
The only reason why vanilla is the most popular flavor is that whenever a customer at a restaurant orders pie or cake with ice cream, he is served vanilla. Restaurant’s don’t carry any other flavor.
Schwan’s. Real milkfat is used and it’s not puffed up with air like most grocery store brands.
You’re a bad bad man for posting that.
Always amazed by these “Best of Anything” articles. Food is subjective, no one can agree on this stuff. This is just an eye catching ploy to make look at the link, read the article.
I remember a drug store chain that used to sell ice cream dirt cheap and was rated one of the best in town—it was Thrifty Drugs, long since gone, bought out. Ever heard of Mashti Malone’s? In every region there is no doubt a purveyor that is known for its ice cream. Which one is the best is just a just a waste of time, only to make another buck off an article. That’s OK, but do not tell me what is “best.” Just a thought…….
If we had taste-o-vision the ads would be awesome
I live in Florida but the stores in Geneva, Alabama just across the state line sell Blue Bell.
I very seldom get it as they almost never put it on sale.
Ben & Jerrys started adding high fructose corn syrup years ago.
Junk.
Haagan Daz still has a few flavors that don’t have it.
Ice Cream is Ice Cream. HCFS is not ice cream.
I still find myself craving Howard Johnson’s “Peppermint Stick” ice cream.
We used to have a Thrifty Drug store in our town, and yes, the ice cream was fantastic. Rite-Aid bought them out, BUT, they still sell Thrifty Ice Cream at Rite-Aid. It is delicious.
Blue Bunny pistachio
Ben & Jerry’s Cherry Garcia ice cream is almost good enough to pull you over to the dark side. (almost)
I hardly ever eat it but feel guilty when I do. I really can’t afford the extra calories either.
No Blue Bell?
Worthless.
And wrong on multiple levels.
So you've had to chew your arm off to keep from waking the freezer?
Try Blue Bell peppermint (on those rare occasions when they sell it). It’s awesome!
It’s pretty dang good. That’s for sure. I’ve had Graeter’s. I’ve had Blue Bell. I’ll take Blue Bell.
